Accreditation Program

Notice: The process for reviewing accreditation applications has been paused. As a result, we are not accepting new applications at this time. Applications will remain on hold until April.

The ODC Course Accreditation establishes that a course or program covers a core set of fundamental common content (knowledge, skills, tools, methods, frameworks, trends, etc.) in organization design. Once endorsed, the course provider can market and advertise it as such. 

The accreditation program is developed jointly by academics and practitioners from a comprehensive analysis of the organization design literature as well as from field experience.

The ODC accreditation program adds value to both course participants and providers by:

• Helping potential course participants navigate in a fragmented market of course providers.
• Ensuring that participants received a theoretically sound and practically useful course.
• Helping course providers develop and differentiate their offerings.
• Completing an accredited course provides minimum educational units to become Certified Organization Design Professional.  

Application

Contact the ODC Principal Office via e-mail. The ODC Principal Office sends application instructions to the course provider. 

Each application is reviewed by a Review Committee and an Awarding Body. The applicant receives a decision from ODC within two months. 

Information about the specific criteria for accreditation, application process, prices etc. are available in the Accreditation Handbook. Please contact the Principal Office via e-mail: orgdesign.endorsement@gmail.com
